The Waterloo and Wapping Tunnels. Both from Edge Hill Junction at the east of the city centre underground with one to the north docks and one to the south (1830s). Both used until the early 1970s. The world's first passenger rail line came in from Manchester and a junction was built at Edge Hill. The station was a bit further into the city at Crown St, but still outside the centre.
Later the passenger line was tunnelled into Lime St creating the widest arch at the time and the first proper rail terminal; (no it wasn't Paddington in London) . To provide for goods, two long tunnels were cut from Edge Hill to the north and south docks with goods terminals at each end.
There are other disused tunnels about Liverpool and countless disused overground stations. A number are being brought back into use and new stations built. The disused infrastructure is all there.
